This dish is doubly inspired by Claire Robinson of 5 minute fix...1st off, No Cook Dinner, 2nd 5-ingredient Taco Night. With the way we've been sweltering in this NYC heat, this was the perfect cool bite for a hot summer night.
It's also a great, inexpensive use of shrimp, and a dish that would cost a lot in a restaurant, but is pretty affordable and goes a long way at home :)
Ingredients:
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1/2 tomato (diced -- seeds and membrane removed)
- 1/2 lb shrimp (pre-cooked, frozen is fine)
- 1/4 jalapeno pepper (minced)
- 1 lime
- lemon pepper
- salt
- olive oil
1. Dice shrimp (cut each into 3 bite sized pieces) -- If frozen, rinse with cold water to thaw and let sit til unfrozen; squeeze out excess liquid.
2. Season shrimp with salt, lemon pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
3. Chop avocado, tomato (removing seeds), jalapeno (the green skin only). Season with salt/pepper, squeeze 1/2 lime.
4. Add shrimp. Stir (or mash for a smoother salsa) and season to taste with lime salt/pepper.
Serve with Tortilla Chips.
Goes great with...Mojitos!
